Tips and Tricks About Importing M1plus Patterns

  • A pattern in the cut out state will be created by CREATE PLUS if an FF pattern with a floating shape is exported from M1plus.
    Better you export separately:
    • Export the basic pattern without the shape.
    • Import the shape (*.shp file extension) directly into the CREATE PLUS.

  • If the M1plus pattern has several yarn fields for one color in the Yarn Field Allocation with different parameters, then CREATE PLUS creates the color and the corresponding quantity of sub-colors in the color parameter table.
    • The sub-colors must be entered afterwards in the Design pattern, so that the settings from the Color parameter table be effective.
  • If for the M1plus pattern Multi-system knitting is selected in the Yarn field allocation, a multiple system color is created in the CREATE PLUS.
    • The multiple system color must be entered afterwards in the Design pattern.
  • If for the M1plus pattern Plating is selected in the yarn field allocation, a plating color is created in the CREATE PLUS.
    • The plating color must be entered afterwards in the Design pattern.
  • If the M1plus pattern contains Color Arrangements, they must be inserted in the Color Arrangement control column of the M1plus pattern.
    • Check the content of the Color Arrangements in the CREATE PLUS.
  • If the *.spfm1 file of the CREATE PLUS is not opened, then check the versions of the M1plus and the CREATE PLUS.
    • Recommendation:
      Create the *.spfm1 file with the most recent version of the M1plus and then promptly open and save the corresponding version of the CREATE PLUS.
